Read The CEO s Bodyguard story online Amazon Kindle

Love. What exactly was it? Cassie Greene thought as lazily rolled out of her bed. She had watched her elder sister break down a couple of times after a breakup. And made her deduce that love meant pain. The first a guy confessed to her back in high school, she requested a transfer to a new school.

Done with her morning shower she dabbed her face with a little makeup before going down to meet her mom.

"Good morning". She greeted me as she sat on one of the kitchen chairs.

"Good morning sweetie, how was your night?". Her mom said as she dished Cassie's favorite pancakes.

"Same". Cassie dryly said and her mom rolled her eyes.

"You say that all the time". Her mom said turning to face the pancakes she was making.

"She's a boring Sadie". Verla her elder sister said as she walked into the kitchen.

"I'm not. I just don't have anything that interests me".

"Exactly, twenty-four, and you haven't ever brought a guy to the house," Verla said.

"I'm not ready for a relationship now ".

"Then when will you be ready? God, Cass you are twenty-four. Your mates are married with kids." Her mom said uncomfortable with the fact that her second daughter had never brought hope to a partner. She would be more terrified if she were gay.

"I not them, okay. Verla hasn't married and you are divorced so don't pressure me!". Cassie spited out without control earning a yell from her sister. Only when the words had come did she realize how hurt she had made her mom feel.

"Apologize, right now ". Verla scolded.

"Excuse me," Cassie said leaving the kitchen.

"I'm warning you, Cassie. If you won't apologize then don't bother coming back tonight!." Verla yelled after her.

If only they knew how their love life had been affected then maybe they wouldn't be as pressuring as they were. Cassie thought as she walked out of the front door. She was more than forty minutes early to work as she grumpily walked down the pathway.

She bet Josh her boss, would be very impressed by her earliness not that she usually came late.

She worked at a publishing company as the head editor. She loved her job, reading people's work was more comforting than having to face them in real life. To be honest she was a strong romantic but...

"Hey, Cassie. Good morning. I didn't know you took this boss to work."

Jeremy her co-editor said as he joined her at the bus stand.

"Good morning," Cassie said as she tried to lighten her mood.

"So there's this book I'm working on and I think it's very good. The author is a college student and...".

"What genre is the book?". Cassie asked.
